Tho regular dramatic at the Madison Square
Theatre which began last night signalized by the
recurrence of a brilliant and admin able drama, Jim

Pamer's excellent and esteemed dramatic company.
This theatre stands first In the favor Of large class
of play goers, and Its popularity last night at
tested by tho numerous assemblage that crowded 1t
in every part The present Is the fourth season OF
Mr. Paner's management OF this house, and 1t opens
with auspiclous success. Manifestly, it was an act
of wisdom to bring back play which thousands OF
people who have seen It are anxious 10 see ana
which hundreds who have already seen it more than
once are DESTROYS Of seeing again. Change, merely
for tho sake of change, always indicates an resofe
mind aud feeble policy. The merits of jim the zen

Correspondence of the Gazette.

CORES pondence OF the Gazette.
CENTER, TEX, JAN. 23.-Satur-
day, the 22d, about two dozen OF
our most prominent citizens met in the
courthou and organized railroad cor
poration in due form, styled
the Center Tap Railway Company, the OBJ
ject OF which is to construct and operate
a railroad from Center to Teneta, the
nearest depot on the Houston, East and
West Texas Road, distant eleven miles.
The charter of said company
has been prepared and nearly
one-half of the estimated cost
OF the road subscribed. This is strictly
local enterprise, and there is no doubt
that something of substantial nature
will be done in few weeks. 1t is eX-
pected to have the road in operation
within twelve months from this date.

SOMETHING OF THE ROAD AND COUNTRY
TO THE NORTHWEST.
Quanah \ vance.


Quanah vance.
The present outlook for this road is one
OF the most favorable in Texas, and one
of the most important to Fort Worth. The
country through which it runs is one of
the best adapted to the culture of small
grain, and as soon as settlements are
made sufficient 10 change the seasons so
as to produce an absolute certainty of
seasons there will not be q more valuable
country in the great southwest.
Up TO the past year farmers had marked
this country rs the garden spot and their
judgment was backed by entries which
have covered every acre of Hardeman aud
Wilbarger counties, and had it not been
for the drouth which has proven univer-
sal, the lands in this county could not be
bought for less than S. per acre, spot
cash; but the effect has been here like
everywhere else, the hester has suffered
and there is little demand from new
corners. 1t will not be long, we
hope, before things will take a
change. A good crop year will put
everything in good condition, aud
Colonel Frost, who has the reputation Of
being one of the hardest workers in Tex
as, and who has g deep and abiding in
terest in the people along the line of the
road, will assist with his judicious man-
agement as heretofore, to help build up
the towns and the country to prosper US
communities, and we believe he will lend
his every energy. Aside from phllan-
thropic and humanitarian standpoint,
great zeal of which he is endowed with,
he understands that the business of the
road proSpers or suffers as the success or
failure of the people along the line, and the
entire Panhandle country may rest as
sured that Colonel Frost will work for
MS road and his people as beaver WORKS
on his dam, with determined mind and
steady ticks. He will 40 all he can for
Fort Worth, his road and his people, and
is known to be one of the most popular
railroad managers in Texas, and CON-
bining his we'll directed energy and his
universal kindness his road will prosper
with the people along the line, and the
time will soon be at hand when these
signs will be visible.

L"rd Brassey in the Ninteenth Century.
Dishonest men only succeed in America
so long as they are not found out. In
the sphere of literature in every branch.
10 history and poetry, in fiction, science,
and in the fine arts, the Americans have
taken high place. OF the charm of Amer
lean society it is quite superfluous to
speak; it has been brilliantly represented
in our own country. Life in America
differs, where it differs at all, from the
best we see at home, only in being more
vivacious and less ceremonious. 1t would
be well if we could impart into the social
world in which we live more of the grace
full and pleasing animation which We see
i'll American life.
That the mass of the people of the
United States are in ndition superior
to that attained in the most fortunate
countries of the Old World is beyond dis
pute. Their advantages are drawn from
the abundant resources of a territory IN
which there are still wide tracts not yet
brought under cultivation. The political
institutions of the United States have
more than the mere negative merit of not
having presented any obstacles to the ma
terial progress Of the people; they have
facilitated the progress of the country in
civilization and in wealth. Education has
been placed within the reach of all. In
ths most newly settled part of the coun
try the reservation of land for the main
tenauce of schools has rendered it posi-
BILE to provide instruction for the children
of the hardy pioneers of agriculture and
mining enterprises As rude assemblages
of huts grow into villages and villages
into towns, the school buildings, the
teachers AID the appliances for teaching
keep pace with the general improvement.
